Slow and Painful Joys

Dull hearts have gone astray My euphoria lights the way The conquers will burn their books Why am I the one in flames? Said we’d die holding hands (I’ll suffered for you) Now that time is past (I’ve suffered for you) I was always dancing in post-mortem (I suffered for you) But now, not quite so fast (I suffer for you!) What does it mean to you? Angels have needles, too Swift was the madness Ever is the sadness Calm is the last word she said Before she gave into her dread The mirror always steals its truth So why is she the one in chains? Dying stopping someone’s rage (Suffer) From taking your smile’s place (Suffer) I will lay this all to rest (Suffer) For the flies to lay their eggs (I suffer for you!) What does it mean to you? Angels have needles, too Swift was the madness Ever is the sadness Give my afterword a bleeding hole (What does it mean to you?) So everyone will know (Angels have needles, too) To say themselves and stay away (Swift was the madness) I hope you can forgive my suffering (Ever is the sadness) What does it mean to you? Angels have needles, too Swift was the madness Ever is the sadness
